I have no concern about his skin color. I want to know why his heart is shredded to begin with. If its drug use, Lean or something like that, then it seems he’s a bad risk.
Other reports I read indicate he was rebelling and would not take his meds. Based on this and other factors - they pulled him from the transplant list.
But again - this is a teenaged kid. He had no clue he was signing his own death sentence. I’m hoping his parents and other responsible adults step up and make this kid behave.
Or he will die.
I remember when Mickey Mantle got a liver transplant -- he went straight to the top of the list because he was Mickey Mantle. That's wrong because it's favoritism, and it's wrong because he drank his liver bad.
A black kid needs a transplant? Maybe his need is legitimate. But I don't want any PC favoritism, and I don't want a drug abuser to jump ahead of people are who flat-out sick.
Exactly. What is the diagnosis for the heart problem and how long has he had it? If he's had the problem for years, then how the heck was he well enough to have a juvy record? Or was the problem caused by drugs, a stabbing, a fight, etc. due to his own behavior? Wonder who called the board to make them move him into the #1 spot.
